Why CareGiving Awareness
Education Matters
Education transforms caregiving from survival mode into sustainable care
Why Caregiving Matters — Right Now
Caregiving is not a role reserved for professionals or planned moments in life. It’s a reality that millions of people step into every day — often unexpectedly — while balancing family, work, and personal responsibilities. Yet caregiving remains one of the most misunderstood, under-supported, and emotionally demanding roles in our society.

while also caring for themselves, regardless of background, income, or experience.
